Since like a month ago youtube started auto translating to english videos that are in my language (spanish) and translating to spanish videos in english.

I refuse to watch auto dubbed videos. This is the dumbest “feature” I saw in a while. And the voice quality is also terrible.

That’s the thing that surprises me the most.
There are some great open source TTS engines/models out there, and they decide to go with Microsoft SAM.

And it doesn’t even matter what settings I choose. Either videos in are translated into english or, when I decide to set the account to english, it randomly translates videos in my native language into english which makes no fucking sense. Just give me an option to opt-out of your brainless fuckery.

Is that an "Americans are big tech's guinea pigs" kind of thing? I still didn't get any video ruined by a dubbing AI.

I’m German and my YouTube shorts feed has both English and German Videos. Still sometimes it auto translates German Videos into English without asking me if I wanted that feature.
I don’t get it - the algorithm should see that I view videos in both languages and still it sometimes auto translates videos from my native language to English.

Ugh
Luckily I only had auto translated titles so far (which are bad enough). Can’t wait for the day to be blessed with auto translated videos too.

Google is an American compamy, please understand that they can’t fathom speaking multiple languages

What other languages? It’s AMERICAN or savagery. I don’t speak savage.
